   Is 'sleepers' a true story?

   • The opening words of Barry Levinson's “Sleepers” are, “This is a true story about friendship that runs deeper than blood.” That's careless writing; how, exactly, does it run deeper than blood, and how deep is blood? But after seeing the film the words I remembered were, “This is a true story.”

   Is sleepers a good movie?

   • Sleepers is anything but easy viewing. The film focuses extensively on the sexual and physical abuse of the four boys. As the ringleader of the detention hall guards, Kevin Bacon is at his absolute creepiest. The young cast does quite well, particularly Joseph Perrino as the young Lorenzo "Shakes" Carcaterra.

   October 18, 1996 Sleepers By JANET MASLIN. hese days, Lorenzo Carcaterra's book "Sleepers" is known simply as "the controversial best seller." That's a shorthand way of saying that when this tidily plotted New York story was published as a nonfiction memoir last year, it sounded more Hollywood than Hell's Kitchen and prompted instant skepticism about the author's conveniently cinematic vision.
